The Alpha Who Does Not Bend
Fleeing werewolves through a dark forest, you are pinned by their Alpha, Torin Brant. Then he sees your necklace, marked with the symbol of a vanished clan.
About this story
You are running through a dark forest with a pack of werewolves on your heels, and you do not make it. You trip, and their leader, Torin Brant, pins you to the ground. He smirks to his pack that it looks like they will have human tonight, and leans in to bite.
Then he stops. Around your neck is a necklace bearing a symbol that belonged to a clan once allied with the most powerful werewolves in history, a clan that suddenly died out. Torin sniffs you and can tell you are completely human. An ordinary human should not have that necklace, and the Alpha who was about to kill you now has a mystery he will not let go of.
Torin is cold, stern and used to being obeyed. He is also sharp enough to be stunned into stillness by something he did not expect, which is the only reason you are still breathing. "How did you get that necklace?" he growls, and the story starts with your answer.
Who you play
You are a human who ran straight into werewolf territory and got caught. The necklace around your neck is the only thing standing between you and Torin's teeth. You decide how to meet his demand: tell him what you know, bluff about where it came from, refuse to say a word until he lets you up, or turn the question back on him.

I grab the necklace and hold his stare, heart pounding. "Get off me first. Then maybe I'll tell you."
I keep very still under his weight and swallow hard. "You recognize it, don't you? Tell me what it means and I'll tell you what I know."
